Love this little bar around the corner, waiters are always friendly. Typical Amsterdam bar, with lovely outside area and lots of sun at the end of a long day walking around. Nice to enjoy a beer and talk your day over. Also basic, but good pub food!

When exploring Amsterdam you must not forget to explore the Vondelpark. Although often super busy at sunny days, a lovely getaway from the city. It's big enough so just keep walking and you will explore the secret little hide aways. To take a break in the sun, stop at t Blauwe Theehuis for some nice coffee or tea.

If you love Italian food, and you are looking for a local spot, Pizzakamer is the place to be. Only 50 meters from the apartment, on the corner with Glou Glou and the old Church, this little place never dissapoints. Super friendly staff and best pizza's ever. Don't forget to tip it all of with a nice limoncello!

Parks & Nature

Love these Botanical Gardens! Only a tram ride away lies this wonderful Hortus Botanicus, built in 1623! it is bigger then you would expect in the middle of Amsterdam. Lovely to walk around and enjoy some nature. If you like, you can also have a lovely lunch here or glass of wine outside in the sun!
